Chapter 100: The next five years (four)

Yin Qingfeng said calmly: "The harm of foreign relatives has never stopped since the Han Dynasty. There have been foreign relatives in the past six hundred years when the dynasty changes have been replaced, especially when the emperor's power is weak.

The uncle is wise and powerful, so he is naturally not afraid of the occurrence of foreign relatives interfering in politics. However, once the ancestral system is formed, what will happen if the incompetent people appear among the descendants of emperors?

We all praise the Han Dynasty, but are the monarchs of every Han Dynasty saint? If every king is saint, will there be Wei, Shu, Wu, and Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties appear?

My nephew means that for the hundred-year-old and thousand-year-old plans of the Tang Dynasty, the foreign relatives should not be valued! No matter how talented I am, I cannot take up a real position!

Not only relatives, but also women and eunuchs in the inner palace must promulgate them in the form of law and never allow them to interfere in politics. They will also set up special institutions to supervise.

The most written woman in history books is the queen of Emperor Gaozu of Han, but she is neither the first nor the last woman to interfere in politics.

If the empress of Emperor Wen of the previous dynasty had not favored Yang Guang and indulged Yang Guang, why would the world of Sui Dynasty die in less than forty years?

The harm of eunuchs is definitely no less than that of women interfering in politics. From the time of Miao Ai of Qin to Zhang Rang in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, are there fewer examples of eunuchs cholera government affairs?

As the slaves of the emperor, eunuchs should not have ranks. If these eunuchs have ranks, their salary will be borne by the people.

The people belong to the emperor, but the people can only serve the emperor, but cannot serve the hard work of the emperor's slaves. In other words, the taxes paid by the people should be enriched into the national treasury rather than the emperor's inner treasury.

In the eyes of the emperor and the world, eunuchs are the emperor's private slaves. But after all, they are the emperor's private slaves and servants. How dare people outside the palace disrespect? The most terrifying thing is that once a young emperor succeeds to the throne, what he trusts most is that people must be the eunuchs around him.

Starting from Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, in order to spread his position in Liu Fuling, he was afraid that his mother would participate in power and participate in politics, so he killed Mrs. Gouyi. So the death of his son Gui's mother and the young emperor succeeded to the throne, which caused the eunuch's rights to expand.

What knowledge can these eunuchs learn from entering the palace when they were young? But they are the people who can influence the emperor the most. If there is no restrictions, the period of destruction of the dynasty will not be long."

Li Shimin listened and pondered. After a while, he said, "Authentic, you are talking about a hundred-year and a thousand-year plan, but can't I ignore your talent?"

"I am happy to be valued by my uncle. But this is not good for the country!

The uncle said that as a prince and a princess, he could not marry mediocre people. However, in order to prevent the relatives from causing trouble, he could deal with it in another way.

First of all, the object of this marriage cannot be those five gates and seven hopes, the children of officials of third grade or even fifth grade or above, and even families of more than a hundred years, because they all have huge abilities. If a foolish monarch appears in a certain dynasty, it will be the time for them to cause trouble.

Secondly, we should find some noble and prominent positions for them. This will not only save the royal face but also eliminate their chances of interfering in politics.

Again, now His Highness has a Literature Museum, and the responsibilities of those bachelors are to give advice to His Highness. What if he keeps his talented relatives to His Highness or the king in the future as a personal adviser?

They are allowed to give advice to the king, but the king cannot ask about political affairs. In this way, they have neither real power nor can they serve the king. Just like the boy is now."

Yin Qingfeng saw Li Shimin sitting there expressionlessly, and he continued, "But is this perfect?

No! There is nothing difficult in the world. I am afraid that those who are determined will really have ulterior motives. Whether they have real power or not will not hinder their ambitions. Therefore, the boy suggested that the royal family establish a secret spy agency.

The functions of this secret spy agency are external and internal.

To the outside world, it refers to spying on the dynamics of foreign countries and foreign races around our Tang Dynasty.

Take the Turks as an example. If the detective found out that they had suffered a snow disaster this year, they would definitely invade the borders of our Tang Dynasty, and our Tang soldiers would be prepared to fight the enemy.

For powerful families, including foreign relatives, you should actively investigate clearly as long as you find someone who handed over the powerful and powerful everywhere, especially those with military power.

In this way, the king can destroy it in the bud."

After hearing this, Li Shimin said nothing for a long time: Yin Qingfeng sold him himself, and he was full of public confidence. As for the national treasury, the internal treasury, is there any difference? Isn’t it all mine?

Li Shimin pondered for a while and asked, "It's okay for other people, this secret spy agency is not a gentleman."

"What the king has to consider is the rise and fall of the dynasty, whether the people are satisfied with the rule of the king, rather than the question of whether a gentleman or not. Is it necessary to be a gentleman, so the dynasty is not allowed? Once the Li dynasty is overthrown, the descendants of the royal family will watch it as they are killed?"

This is the finishing touch. Li Shimin pondered for a while and said, "Besides these, what advice do you have?"

"No matter how the saint explains the reason for changing the prince to the people of the world, what the uncle has to do is to convince the people of the world that the saint's decision is correct.

Therefore, while issuing the decree, the uncle will send people to all parts of the world to promote it. Let as many local officials and people know that in the near future, a saint who is far more wise than the emperors of previous dynasties will appear in the Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin was very excited. But he tried his best to control himself and think along with Yin Qingfeng's words.

Yin Qingfeng's meaning is very obvious. No matter what the reason is, it is a shameful thing after all. Only by improving his reputation in the shortest time can people's speculation be diverted.

In this way, it will not only save the royal family's face, but also quickly increase his prestige.

Li Shimin said excitedly and satisfiedly: "The theory of empire comes from your mouth. Now that my battle with Brother A has ended, what specific advice do you have for the future?"

"First, within the next five years, we will fully implement the implementation of the equalization order to ensure that each household receives the amount of land they deserve; and fully complete the promotion of new agricultural farming.

Second, within the next five years, banks will be spread throughout the states and counties.

Third, within the next five years, the population registration will be completed, and the official slaves will be cancelled at the same time, and private slaves will be encouraged to escape."

Li Shimin thought Yin Qingfeng would say a long speech again, but in just three sentences it ended. He waited for a while and asked, "Is this gone?"

Yin Qingfeng asked back: "Uncle thinks it's too little?"

Li Shimin thought to himself, of course there are too few! I finally solved my brother, and I was about to use his fists and show his ambitions well, but in the end, there were only three sentences, and it was something I had discussed a long time ago, so of course there were too few.

"Did uncle know that a sentence is called "an emperor's words, subjects run away from their legs"?"

"What's the meaning?"

"The emperor wants to issue a decree. First, he must know what problems to solve, then study how to solve them, and finally let the officials implement them.

For officials from all over the world, this decree is just a few words on paper, but it is not possible to fully complete this decree overnight.

Use the new farming method as an example.

First of all, Hebei and Jianghuai, due to different temperatures, different grains cultivated, different population numbers, different abilities of officials, etc., it may only take two years for Hebei to complete, while in the Jianghuai area, four years for it.

Secondly, how can the uncle be sure that the local government has fully complied with the requirements of the government orders and achieved the results that the uncle wants?

Therefore, after the government decree is promulgated, officials from all over the country should be given a reasonable time to complete it, and then someone should be sent to check their completion status. It cannot be said that the uncle issued a government decree in Chang'an, and this government decree can be implemented immediately.

The more the government orders involving national economy and people's livelihood are, the more we cannot rush to formulate them, nor should we rush to ask officials from all over the country to complete them.

In my nephew's opinion, it would be great if the previous three things can be fully implemented within five years. These three things are something they have never experienced for most officials and the people. They need time to accept and recognize.

And once they truly understand the benefits, they will sincerely support them. Only by gaining the recognition and support of the people can they be grateful to the person who issued such a decree from the bottom of their hearts.”

While listening to Yin Qingfeng's explanation carefully, Li Shimin was thinking about how Yin Qingfeng, who had never been involved in political affairs, knew about these things. If the theory of empire was considered to be from the imagination of a young man, it was not something that a young man who had not been involved in the world could know about the specific implementation of the government orders.

Also, the reason why Yin Qingfeng said just now that he could not become an official was also difficult for him to accept.

Regardless of horseshoe palms, new farming, copper coins reform, etc., it can be regarded as the reason for Yin Qingfeng's intelligence. However, if you want to see the sinister hearts of people and not be moved by fame and fortune, you are not what a young man who has never been able to say.

It is true that Yin Qingfeng came from a noble family. But he was a concubine's son and grandson. Yin Qiao would never be able to teach him these things, let alone Yin Yuan. Moreover, according to the results of the investigation, he not only did not show any outstanding features two years ago, but even acted more restrained and dull than his brother.

What exactly is the reason?
